                                            >you are awoken by the sudden tapping of glass next to you

                                            >you see your coworker standing outside signaling to his watch

                                            >you take a glimpse at yours and not read   1  you cce that your shift was over a few minutes ago

                                            "Shit, sorry man, didn't mean to snooze again"

                                            >you get up and open the door for him

                                            >"Sure you didnt. I still don't understand how the day shift leaves you so tired all the time."

                                            "Maybe I'm just a night person. The moon seems much more interesting than the boring old sun."

                                            >your coworker simply rolls his eyes

                                            >you grab your jacket and keys before leaving the small reception box

                                            >your coworker does the opposite as you begin walking towards your truck

                                            >"hey anon, might get rainy tonight."

                                            "Thanks for the heads up Jimmy."

                                            >you get inside your truck and proceed to pullout of the motel


                                            >a storm starts to pick up after driving for a few minutes

                                            "Why couldn't it rain until I got home"

                                            >it was difficult to see in front of you

                                            >you couldn't tell if you missed your next turn or not

                                            "Where the hell am I?"

                                            >you came to notice the lack of cars on the road

                                            >you decide to pull a u turn and drive at a slower pace keeping an eye on the street signs

                                            >not long after turning you notice someone running around a corner as if being chased

                                            >it was a small figure wearing a hoodie with the hood up and some jeans

                                            >almost seconds later you see two more appear from the corner wearing similar clothing with different colors

                                            >as you neared the corner you could begin to recognize them as having a feminine body shape

                                            >they seem to be catching their breath before you notice a larger figure appear behind them

                                            >this doesn't feel right

                                            >you immediately pull over next to the girls

                                            >you leave the engine running and exit the vehicle

                                            >you begin walking towards both parties


                                            >"I've finally got you you witches"

                                            >he hasn't noticed you approaching yet

                                            "Hey what's going on here?"

                                            >everyone turned to face you

                                            >"This crazed lunatic is trying to hurt us!"

                                            >one of the girls immediately spoke up upon seeing you

                                            >"yeah, for realzies!"

                                            >a second one spoke, with a much higher pitch

                                            "What's the big deal bub."

                                            >you unknowingly began to circle the figure, coming between him and the girls

                                            >"you don't know what you're getting into so I suggest you get out of the way and . . ."

                                            "I think I do know what I'm getting into. I'm getting into a group of defenseless girls and a creep attempting to harm them"

                                            >the man starts to circle you aswell

                                            >"defenseless? Hah! These are the real creeps"

                                            >you motion for the girls to stand behind you

                                            >"look, buddy, the faster I take care of these harlots, the faster the world can get back to normal."

                                            >both of you stopped turning

                                            >you notice your truck ended up behind him

                                            >crap, looks like you can't just make a run for it with the girls and leave

                                            >a confrontation is in order, or at least a distraction to get the girls in the truck

                                            "Look, I don't want any trouble, but you calling them names is really starting to get on my nerves so how about we . . ."

                                            >'my nerves'? Sure the name calling was starting to upset you but you didn't plan on saying that outloud

                                            >guess you must still be tired

                                            ". . . how about we go home and sleep"

                                            >'sleep'? You know for sure weren't going say that but you felt like saying it

                                            >felt

                                            >You suddenly felt like punching him now

                                            >you began to notice a silence

                                            >you expected to start hearing your heart beating but instead something different came

                                            >you could hear humming


                                            >you weren't sure if it was adrenaline rushing through you or something else but you could feel a great urge to create a fist and plant it on this guy's face

                                            >you took notice of your arms and how they began to move on their own

                                            >what your body was doing however was far different from what you were expecting to happen

                                            >you notice both your arms are being raised with both palms open away from you

                                            >you begin to feel a new urge rising from your spine

                                            >you also notice the humming has changed

                                            >as the urge climbed your spine to your brain you begin to realize what you are doing

                                            >or what your body is doing, with you being nothing but a spectator

                                            >you are moving in to push this man away from your truck

                                            >but once you make contact with this man's chest, you feel the urge has arrived

                                            >your eyes widen as you realize that pushing him away from the truck wasn't the plan

                                            >within a fraction of a second you manage to see from the corner of your eye a pair of headlights that weren't from your truck


                                            >it happened so quickly

                                            >one minute you were trying to calm things down, the next you could see the face of this stranger disappear into the rain

                                            >the humming reverted back to the first tone

                                            >you stood there motionless for a few seconds

                                            >the silence began to diffuse as the sound of rain, tire screeching, and singing began to fill your head

                                            >'singing'?

                                            >"That was close, that creep nearly hurt you."

                                            >hurt me?

                                            >he didn't even get to lift a fist at me

                                            >you felt a hand touch your shoulder

                                            >snapping out of your frozen state, you notice the singing stopped

                                            >you wish it hadn't

                                            >you turn to face the group of unknown girls

                                            >the one holding your shoulder had a pair of dark pink eyes and yellow skin

                                            >the other two approached you and you can see one possessing dark purple eyes and purple skin and the other had slightly lighter pink eyes and pale blue skin

                                            >"A little bit more and he would have had us. Good thing you showed up."

                                            >The blue one spoke and you felt the need to respond to her

                                            "Happened to be at the right time, and the right place."

                                            >Why did you respond?

                                            >the scene just moments before was something you didn't expect to witness and definitely not be the cause of it

                                            >you should be checking to see if he's okay or call help

                                            >"hey, you wouldn't mind maybe taking us someplace, I don't know, out of the rain maybe?"

                                            >the purple one barked as she began walking towards your truck

                                            >who does she think she is ordering you in that manner

                                            >"What she means to say is if you could take us somewhere safe. Somewhere away from this."

                                            >The orange one spoke, and it was such a soothing voice

                                            "Sure. Where do you want me to take you gals?"

                                            >"Takes us to your place, please. We'll feel much safer there."

                                            >you expected them to ask you to take them to their own house but to yours?

                                            >you don't even know them

                                            "Yeah okay, let's get out of the rain."

                                            >you don't know why you said yes but something inside you wasn't letting you say no


                                            >You motion for the girls to follow you to the truck

                                            >Immediately two of them rush over and start fighting for the front seat

                                            >"Come on Aria, I want to sit next to him."

                                            >"No. Then you'll mess things up like last time."

                                            >"At least I won't mess up like you just did."

                                            >The third girl left your shoulder and ran up to the other two

                                            >Your body started to feel cold all of sudden

                                            >"Girls, enough!"

                                            >The two stopped their skirmish

                                            >She quickly eyed you before returning her attention to the two

                                            >They began to whisper among themselves

                                            >You couldn't bring yourself to pay attention to what they were saying

                                            >The warmth on your shoulder was slowly fading away

                                            >You began walking around the front of the truck when you start feel your heart racing

                                            >Your knees buckle and you fall to your hands

                                            >Looking down to the wet concrete, you regain awareness of what happened

                                            "I pushed him . . ."

                                            >You didnt notice that they stopped talking and saw what was happening to you

                                            "I pushed him into the truck . . ."

                                            "I ki. . ."

                                            >You couldn't finish your open thought as you felt the warmth return to you

                                            >Turning to your shoulder you see the same hand again


                                            >You turn to face the person holding your shoulder

                                            >You see that she wasn't wearing her hood on anymore

                                            >Droplets from her beehive ran down her face to her cheeks

                                            >She held a smile towards you

                                            >The sight of it made you forget what you were upset about

                                            >She helped you up and walked you to the drivers seat

                                            >You gasped as the horrible cold started rising again

                                            >Before you could say anything, you feel the warmth of her hand once more

                                            >Returning your gaze to her, you see she unzipped her hoodie enough to see a necklace on her

                                            >"You wouldn't mind if we sing a song do you? Sonata is still really scared and singing always calms her down."

                                            >"I'm not scared . . Oof"

                                            >"Quit it you two."

                                            >You return to the orange beauty

                                            >"Please?"

                                            >She was giving that smile again

                                            "Sure, I'd like to hear you sing."


                                            >All three of them started singing but your attention was strictly focused to the warm glow of the girl before you

                                            >The sound coming from her voice was so angelic

                                            >Not long after they started singing did you start hearing that humming in your head again

                                            >You were once again a spectator, watching your body act on its own

                                            >But you didn't feel afraid or disgusted anymore

                                            >You felt relief and was happy he was gone

                                            >You began driving forward, coming up next to the other car

                                            >It wasn't the same as the smile she gave you you earlier

                                            >She removed her hand from your lap but the warmth didn't leave you this time

                                            >You didn't know what she meant and felt like asking was a normal action to take

                                            >But the urge to ask that also brought a chill

                                            >You changed your mind to focus on the road

                                            >You wanted to speak up about the purple ones tone but that chill started coming again

                                            "No, I don't own a house. I live in an apartment."

                                            >You could see the disappointment in their eyes

                                            >There was no chill warning this time

                                            >You truly seem to have messed up

                                            >You turned to the face next to you and could see uncertainty in her face

                                            "But don't worry! I have a perfect place you. I can take you there tomorrow morning."

                                            >She gives you a sly smile

                                            >"Okay girls, we stay here the night and rest up. Tomorrow we can go hunting for food."

                                            >"Fine. Lead the way you dolt!"

                                            "Sorry. Please follow me to the front of the building."

                                            >You were unsure what you should be doing right now so you started making your way to the bathroom

                                            >Almost as if triggering a spring trap, you are shoved to the wall

                                            >Pulling some 270 degree turn towards you, the orange being was holding you against the wall

                                            >Both her hands resting on either side of wall behind your head, she began to push her still dripping body onto you

                                            >Her waist started rubbing up against your not so concealed stiff

                                            >"I just realized. You have three girls, stripping, in your apartment, and we don't even know your name yet."


                                            >Not wanting to fall into the pull of her eyes like last time, you focus your attention just above her head looking at a wall on the opposite side of the room

                                            >She removed one arm from the wall to signal towards the other girls

                                            >"That one's Sonata and the the other one is Aria."

                                            >Returning her hand to the wall, she begins to press even closer with her waist

                                            >You couldn't even tell if she knew what you had down there or just didn't care

                                            >"And I'm Adagio."

                                            >She said this in such a sultry voice it triggered a response

                                            "I'm Anon!"

                                            >Not at all phased by your name shouting, she eased up on the pressure she was applying on you

                                            >Feeling her back away lured you into lowering your gaze from the wall

                                            >Your eyes returned to seeing hers, falling under their spell

                                            >"Well, Anon, we didn't bring any spare clothes so how about you find something for us to wear."

                                            >She turned to walk away and started undoing her bra


                                            >As one strap came down after the other, you started to panic

                                            >You weren't sure if she was going to let it fall and turn to face you, chest fully exposed

                                            >You reacted quickly and escaped to your bedroom

                                            "I'll find something for you wear!"

                                            >You couldn't control the volume of your voice

                                            >In the bedroom, you rushed over to the closet and grabbed any piece of clothing that you could get your hands on

                                            >Your selection ended up consisting of a tank top, a long sleeve shirt, two pairs of shorts and your pajamas

                                            >You were one set short so you reached back into the closet

                                            >Before you could pull anything out, someone walked into the room

                                            >"Did you find something already?"

                                            >You turn out startled, thinking it was Adagio that walked in in her birthday suit

                                            >You felt slight relief seeing it was just Aria

                                            >Slight

                                            >She glanced over to the bed where you laid out all the clothes

                                            >"That's it? Fine, I'm taking the pajamas."

                                            "Wait. Those are mi . . ."

                                            >"I said 'I'm taking the pajamas'. You can find something else to wear."

                                            >She collects all the clothes and walks out the room

                                            >You decide to simply let it go and settled with a another pair of shorts and a t shirt


                                            >You changed quickly to avoid anyone catching you half naked

                                            >Gathering all your wet clothes, you walk to leave the room, hoping everyone else was dressed

                                            >Heading to the doorway, you collide with Aria and find yourselves caught between it

                                            >Your hands, extended out before you in order to hold the clothes, were now caught between you and her chest

                                            >Only the back of your hands were able to make contact with her breasts

                                            >"You stupid idiot!"

                                            >She raised up an arm and planted a big fist to the side of your face knocking you loose from the doorway

                                            >You swear you noticed her cheeks turn red before only stars clouded your vision

                                            >"Watch where you're going you doofus!"

                                            >She then stomped into the room leaving you dazed on the the floor

                                            >You started coming to when a pair of legs appeared before you

                                            >"She really got you good, didn't she Anon."

                                            >Sonata was looking down at you, wearing a pair of your shorts and your long sleeve shirt

                                            >It was far too long for her seeing as how her hands weren't even visible

                                            "I might have deserved that."

                                            >That punch was definitely uncalled for though

                                            >It was an accident

                                            >You feel pain growing as feeling returned to your cheek

                                            >"You should brace yourself next time you decide to feel her up."


                                            >You get up and dust yourself off

                                            "I wasn't trying to feel her up. We just bumped into each other."

                                            >"You don't have to lie. I totally understand if you wanted to feel those knockers of hers."

                                            >You pressed on the bridge of your nose before returning her

                                            "Can you just tell her I'm sorry?"

                                            >"Gotcha. I'll tell her you're sorry for grabbing her melons."

                                            >What! No!

                                            >She already turned to enter the room

                                            >"Hey Aria . . ."

                                            >It was best if you got out of there fast so you picked up your clothes and dashed to the living room


                                            >As you walked into the living room, the sight before was something your head will never let you forget

                                            >This time you weren't a spectator watching as your body moves

                                            >This time you were a spectator watching someone else's body move

                                            >Standing before you, with back turned towards you, is Adagio

                                            >You stood there, watching, as she so carefully brought the shorts up her ankles

                                            >Up her calves

                                            >Until finally it made contact with her thighs

                                            >Slowly you watched as her deep red undergarments vanished under the shorts

                                            "I . . . Uhm . . . I . . ."

                                            >Hearing you choke, she turned and gave a puzzled look

                                            >"What's wrong?"


                                            It took you a minute to hide the memory before you could speak clearly

                                            "I just wanted to tell you that . . . I will be heading . . . down stairs . . . to the laundry room to wash these clothes."

                                            >"You don't have to worry about that right now."

                                            >She gingerly walks to your side and grabs hold of your arm

                                            >You didn't notice until now that the constant warmth you felt much earlier had been gone this entire time

                                            >But whenever the warmth would wither, a chill would take its place

                                            >This entire time you seem to have been at some equilibrium, allowing you to have greater control of your actions

                                            >None of your previous actions were met with a warning of the oncoming chill

                                            >Your responses weren't made out of place either

                                            >But once she grabbed you, the warmth returned

                                            >And to her will were you lost

                                            >"How about you take care of this tomorrow morning and take a rest right now?"

                                            >You were feeling sleepy again

                                            >You placed the clothes down and walked into the bathroom


                                            >You turn on the lights and walk to the glass doors of the bathtub

                                            >You slide it open and hop inside, lowering yourself into it

                                            >"Leave it open so you can hear us."

                                            >You could see serious concern in her eyes

                                            >She gave you a smile

                                            >It was the same smile she gave you when your were collapsed to your knees earlier

                                            >She turned off the light as she left the bathroom

                                            >Your only light source was from a nightlight plugged into a nearby wall and the light from outside the hall

                                            >You look down and notice you are wearing the same clothes you were wearing when you left work a while ago

                                            >As the green fog got closer, so did the chanting get louder

                                            "Woah, hey. I'm sorry, but those were accidents.

                                            >"Then why don't you 'accidentally' watch me pee. Then I'll be even with them."

                                            "What!?"

                                            >She was already pulling down her shorts as she was about to take a seat

                                            >There was no chance to get up and run

                                            >You continued to crawl all the way out the door

                                            >One lead upstairs to the roof and the other downstairs

                                            >You never did properly apologize to Aria from last night's misunderstanding so you felt like getting that taken care of

                                            >You felt that chill crawling behind you but tried to ignore it as you began walking over to her


                                            >You were accustomed to always changing your approach whenever that chill came but only when your action felt negative towards one of them

                                            >You were here to apologize and saw nothing bad about that

                                            >You continued forward with the chill lingering inside you

                                            >She must've heard you walking even though you weren't making much noise

                                            >Maybe she was psychic, but if she was she wouldn't ask what you're doing here

                                            "I came to apologize about what happened last night."

                                            >She didn't turn to face you

                                            >"I hope you enjoyed that because I very much doubt you'll have a chance to do that again."

                                            "Woah, hey. I didn't mean to do that on purpose. We just bumped in each other."

                                            >She gave a huff at your answer

                                            >You decided to lean on the railing next to her, the chill scratching your spine

                                            >You notice her glance your way before quickly lowering herself so her chest was hidden behind her arms

                                            >She must really feel uncomfortable near you

                                            >Given her attitude from last night you assumed she was all tough but it seems that might just be the exterior

                                            >The chill started to claw on your insides as you decided to say the last thing you remember from last night

                                            "You guys sounded beautiful last night."


                                            >The chill surrounded you as you noticed her face frown

                                            >You were confused as to why your compliment would make her feel insulted

                                            >"Yeah, whatever."

                                            >She left the railing and turned to leave

                                            "Wait. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

                                            >She stopped walking but didn't face you

                                            >"You didn't."

                                            >She resumed walking towards the door back into the building

                                            >The chill was growing stronger and you didn't feel like you could take it much longer

                                            >You started running through many actions that could help reduce the effect but none seemed to be enough

                                            >You finally came across one that signaled warmth but the idea of it was one that made you feel it would be the opposite of you were trying to do

                                            >The chill was burning you and you simply said 'fuck it'

                                            >You ran up to her and turned her to face you before locking your lips with hers

                                            >She tried to push you away but she didn't retreat her lips

                                            >She eventually gave in and returned the kiss

                                            >The warmth coming from her face was slowly pushing the chill away

                                            >You placed your arms behind her back and pulled her closer to your chest without breaking the kiss

                                            >The warmth from her body sped up the process of clearing the chill

                                            >Once the chill was completely gone, she began to push you away

                                            >She broke the kiss and shoved you away from her

                                            >"Please, no more."

                                            >You see her shedding a single tear before she wiped it away

                                            "Aria, I . . . "

                                            >She quickly runs to the door and slams it as she heads downstairs

                                            >You remained there, motionless confused and warm


                                            >You were alone on the rooftop puzzled with yourself

                                            >You were warm, which felt good, but seeing Aria leave like that didn't let you enjoy it

                                            >You hurried over to the door and grabbed the handle but didn't turn it

                                            >'What the hell is happening to me'

                                            >You let go of it and sat down against the door

                                            >You started thinking about the warm and chilling sensations you've been getting

                                            >They seemingly controlled what actions you should take

                                            >You didn't start feeling these sensations until after last night when you pushed that guy to his death

                                            >But during that you felt none, and your actions weren't your own

                                            >Your emotions during that were also not your own

                                            >Escalating from 'Sleep', 'Punch', to 'Kill'?

                                            >That didn't feel like you at all

                                            >Your mind started to remember parts of that dream you had

                                            >You remember the fog, the three figures, your strange out of body experience

                                            >The whisper

                                            >The realization that you were being controlled was sounding ridiculous but made too much sense

                                            "I wouldn't kill someone willingly, would I?"


                                            >You tried to shake the thought out of your head and got back up

                                            >You felt you should go and apologize to Aria, again, for forcing that kiss on her

                                            >You opened the door and made your way down

                                            >You reached your floor and continued to your room

                                            >You were in your doorway when a voice called from behind

                                            >"Good morning Anon."

                                            >You turned around and was faced with Adagio carrying a large basket of clothes

                                            >"You wouldn't mind carrying this in will you? I'd like to get a quick shower before we leave today."

                                            >You didn't get to answer and she handed you the basket anyway

                                            >She squeezed past you and started swaying her hips side to side as she walked in

                                            >She stopped a second and turned her head towards you

                                            >"Could you also bring me my clothes while I'm inside, I'll leave the door unlocked."

                                            >She did a 180 and walked back to you

                                            >She got in close and whispered to your ear

                                            >"You can take a quick dip with me if while you're in there."

                                            >Your eyes widened at the thought of a naked and soaked Adagio

                                            >She chuckled and returned to swaying her hips away from you and proceeded into the bathroom

                                            >Your body felt no chill nor warmth

                                            >Your next decision was completely up to you


                                            >You didn't like the fact your were being so easily enticed by her actions so you tried to restrain yourself

                                            >You walked into the living room and saw Sonata laying on the couch, flat on her stomach with her feet dancing in the air

                                            >It looked like she was reading something but you couldn't see what from this angle

                                            >You could, however, see the curves of her but showing through the shorts she was wearing

                                            >"I don't get it? What do these girls have that I don't that grabs men's attention? It's obviously not clothes because they're hardly wearing any."

                                            >'Girls?','Clothes?'

                                            >Oh no . . .

                                            >You dropped the basket down with a loud thud

                                            "Here are your clothes, Sonata."

                                            >"Ooh yes. Now I can change. At least then I'll have better clothes than these girls."

                                            >She jumped off the couch and rushed over to the basket

                                            >She left the magazine behind so you immediately grabbed it and ran to your bedroom

                                            >Once there you stopped to see Aria sitting on the edge of the bed

                                            "Oh, Aria, your clothing's clean now and it's over in the living room right now. Thought maybe you should know. Hehe."

                                            >You hid the magazine behind your back so she couldn't see it anymore

                                            >She just looked at you with a blank face before getting up to leave

                                            >"Thanks, I guess."

                                            >She leaves and you're left alone in the room

                                            >You should consider hiding this in a better place


                                            >You were done hiding the magazine

                                            >You know now that under the mattress isn't such a good place

                                            >How Sonata came across it was unclear to you but were glad one of the other two didn't see it

                                            >At least you hope Aria didn't see it since she was sleeping in this room aswell

                                            >That situation aside, you walked to your closet and picked out some clothes to change into

                                            >You picked out a plain red shirt and a pair of silver jeans

                                            >You sat on the end of your bed and put on a pair of shoes

                                            >You felt like taking a quick rest and dropped your back onto the bed before closing your eyes for a bit

                                            >A moment later a slight weight is dropped on you

                                            >You open your eyes to see a pile of folded clothes on your chest

                                            >You turn to your side and see Sonata standing there smiling

                                            >"Here are Adagio's clothes so you can give them to her."

                                            "Why can't you give them to her?"

                                            >"Well duh, because she asked you to do it. I'm gonna head downstairs and wait for you to leave."

                                            >She turned and left the room, leaving you with a pile of clothes sitting on your chest

                                            >You sigh before getting up and taking the clothes with you into the hallway

                                            >From there you could see Sonata heading for the door while Aria was laying down on the couch

                                            >You still needed to apologize

                                            >You planned on doing that just as soon as you drop off these clothes

                                            >You walked up to the bathroom door and knocked

                                            >You heard the water shut off but it was a few seconds before you got an answer

                                            >"Come in."

                                            >You really hoped Adagio was in there with a towel on

                                            >You didn't need Aria to think any less of you right now

                                            >You opened the door and was immediately pulled in

                                            >You were shoved into the door, forcing it close, dropping the clothes in the process

                                            >Adagio was holding your arms down and was staring intensely into your eyes

                                            >"Do you find me attractive?"


                                            "What?"

                                            >"Do you find me hot? Sexy? Bangable?"

                                            "What!? Why are you asking me this!?"

                                            >"Just answer the question. Am I irresistible?"

                                            >She kept getting closer to your face and squeezing your arms harder as she did

                                            >You were becoming slightly worried and terrified

                                            "Yes, you're hot. Can you please let go? You're hurting me."

                                            >You sounded like a sissy

                                            >She eased her grip and backed away from your face

                                            >She was carefully examining your eyes

                                            >"Why didn't you come and join me then?"

                                            "What?"

                                            >"Why didn't you come when I asked you to?"

                                            >You could've sworn she gave you the choice and didn't exactly tell you to join her

                                            "I just came to leave your clothes. Nothing more."

                                            >You expected her to continue pressing you with questions but she let go of you

                                            >"Fine. I'll be dressed to leave in a few minutes so get out of here."

                                            >You immediately exited the bathroom and shut the door

                                            >Something was off about her

                                            >All other times she didn't care if someone saw her changing

                                            >You thought this time she would change right in front of you without a worry

                                            >Maybe she really wanted you to hop in the shower with her, but it felt like it was something else

                                            >You turn to Aria who was already getting up to leave the apartment

                                            "Aria, wait."

                                            >She continued walking to the door

                                            >"What do you want now?"

                                            >You rushed up to keep up with her

                                            "Look, I'm sorry about what I did on the roof and . . ."

                                            >"Can you just not talk about that and forget about it?"

                                            >She grabbed her arm as if she were hurting

                                            "Ok, I'm sorry."

                                            >"Just leave that alone."

                                            >You took note of her saying 'that' instead of 'me'

                                            >You continued to follow her to the steps

                                            >"Aren't you gonna wait for Adagio?"

                                            >After that strange incident in the bathroom, you really didn't want to be left alone with her

                                            "I thought I'd go and start the truck, maybe bring it over to the front for you guys."

                                            >Aria stopped and looked at you with a shocked look

                                            >Almost as if she expected you to actually wait for Adagio

                                            >Something was going on


                                            "What's wrong?"

                                            >"Oh, um, I think I left something in your apartment."

                                            "Want me to help you look for it?"

                                            >"Nono, it's fine. You go and get the truck like you said. I'll be down with Adagio in a bit."

                                            >She rushed past you and headed back through the door

                                            >She looked sad just a second ago

                                            >Now she seemed worried about something else

                                            >The missing item was obviously a lie to get back to the apartment

                                            >Maybe she was planning to talk with Adagio about something she didn't want you to hear

                                            >You didn't want to mess things up further with Aria so you continued downstairs

                                            >Arriving to the ground floor, you see Sonata seemingly bobbing in place

                                            >"Oh Anon you're here. Are we ready to leave to this 'perfect place' yours?"

                                            "Not quite yet. Adagio is finishing up changing and Aria said she forgot something in the apartment."

                                            >"Adagio is such a slowpoke. I wonder what Aria forgot though."

                                            "Yeah, me too. You want to go wait with me in the truck until they come out?"

                                            >"Yeah, sure. Let's go."

                                            >She skipped out the door and you followed behind her to the truck

                                            >She stopped and waited patiently for you to unlock the doors

                                            >You opened your door and unlocked the rest from within

                                            >You thought it strange but Sonata decided to sit in the back seat again even though the front was free

                                            >You simply shrugged it off as either she likes the back or leaves the front for one of the others

                                            >You turned on the engine and drove around to the front of the building

                                            >You remained parked with the engine running waiting for the other girls

                                            >It wasn't long before you saw Adagio followed by Aria exiting the building

                                            >The next thing that happened seemed strange

                                            >Adagio got into the back seat with Sonata and Aria got in the front seat

                                            >"Alright then, get this thing moving will you."

                                            >'What happened in there?'

                                            >You couldn't come up with an answer so you simply put the truck in drive and drove towards their new safe haven


                                            >The entire ride you felt like asking one of them what was going on and took note that chill and warmth weren't present

                                            >In the end you decided against it and kept it to yourself

                                            >The trip was silent until the motel finally came into view

                                            "Well girls, this is the place."

                                            >You could see Sonata pressing her face against the window while Adagio moved up in her seat to get a view from the front

                                            >Aria viewed it with a bored expression

                                            >"A motel? That's your safe place?"

                                            >Adagio's remark would have usually cause a chill inside you but you remained leveled

                                            "Yeah. Its much better in quality than my room at the apartment and I also happen to work here."

                                            >You pulled into the parking lot and stopped the car

                                            >"It looks fine."

                                            >Aria's comment created a warmth inside you

                                            "You girls wait here while I go and get the keys to your room."

                                            >You were lying

                                            >You didn't have the keys or the room for them yet

                                            >"You'll be close won't you?"

                                            >Adagio had worry in her voice

                                            "Yeah, I'm just gonna head to the little office right there and be right back."

                                            >"I mean while we stay here, will you be within reach of us?"

                                            >Her face was showing real worry

                                            >A warm answer was popping into your mind

                                            "I'll be nearby if you guys need me."

                                            >She gave you a smile and with it came greater warmth

                                            >You get out of the truck and head over to the small room near the end of the motel

                                            >Inside you see another coworker, Micheal, who works the early morning til the afternoon shift sitting behind the desk

                                            >You notice he's sleeping while holding a magazine to his stomach

                                            >This would prove getting rooms easy without anyone noticing

                                            >You quietly unlock the door on the side of the room and walk in

                                            >You look under the counter for the log holding all the names of people currently staying here

                                            >You skim through until you find a room with, if not three, then at least two beds

                                            >You grab a pen from the desk and fill in the blanks using a random alias


                                            >All the information was in order so you placed the pen and log back then grabbed the keys hanging on the back wall

                                            >You were in and out in with no problems

                                            >You hurried over to your truck and saw the girls waiting beside it

                                            >They must've gotten tired of waiting inside

                                            "Alright girls, I've got your keys now let me show you to your room."

                                            >You motion for them to follow and lead them up a set of stairs to the second floor

                                            >You followed inside, closing the door behind you

                                            >Sonata immediately jumped to the nearest bed and fell flat on it

                                            >Adagio went into the bathroom while Aria went continued into the kitchen

                                            >You followed behind Aria

                                            >"So, now we can cook for ourselves while we're here?"

                                            "Yeah and there's also a pool in the back for everyone that stays here."

                                            >"THERE'S A POOL!!!"

                                            >All three of them shouted all across the entire room

                                            >They must really like the sound of a pool

                                            "Yeah you can get to from the back of kitchen."

                                            >All three of rushed up to you with ecstatic faces, waiting for you to show them

                                            >It seemed like a possible reaction from Sonata and maybe Adagio, but from Aria it felt out of character

                                            >She and Adagio took a second to calm themselves while Sonata kept the same reaction

                                            "It's right through here."

                                            >You showed them a glass door that led behind the motel

                                            >You slide it open and they dash out

                                            >They start drooling at the sight of the pool down below

                                            >You don't know anyone who'd get this excited about a pool but thought it was kinda charming on them

                                            >It felt kind of good seeing Aria without a grumpy face

                                            >You look below as well and see some of the other tenants hanging near or in the pool

                                            >You're surprised they don't seem to mind this many people being around

                                            >Adagio comes over and grabs you by your arm

                                            >"We need to go and buy bathing suits. Now."


                                            >You swallowed hard at the mention of bathing suit as it started to plant images of each one of them half naked in your brain

                                            >Adagio didn't wait for any response as she dragged you back into the room and the other two followed close behind

                                            >Past the kitchen and past the beds, she dragged you back out the front door

                                            >She finally let go of you and gave you a chance to collect yourself

                                            >"Where's the nearest clothing store around here?"

                                            "Well the closest would be down at the mall . . ."

                                            >"Great, takes us there then."

                                            "Now?"

                                            >"Yes!"

                                            "But we haven't even ate anything yet."

                                            >"He's right. Can't we eat first?"

                                            >Good, you got Sonata on your side

                                            >"Gah, fine! There should be a food court at the mall, I'd assume, so we can eat there."

                                            >"Yay! I hope they have tacos there."

                                            >Adagio and Aria just rolled their eyes at her comments

                                            >They walked towards the stairs with you and Sonata in tow

                                            >You couldn't help but notice them whispering to each other

                                            >You couldn't make out what they were saying

                                            >"Anon, are you gonna buy a swim suit?"

                                            >You weren't able to concentrate on them as Sonata started to speak with you

                                            "I wasn't planning on it."

                                            >"Aww, come on. Why not? You can come swim with us."

                                            "I'm not really the swimming type. I could always put on a pair of shorts and hang at the edge."

                                            >"Man, how boring."

                                            >She put on an adorable pouty face

                                            >The four of you reach the vehicle and hop in

                                            >Starting it up, you pull out and drive onto the road
